Carbon is an essential building block of life. Carbon-based fuels are valuable sources of deportable, storable energy. Can we use too much carbon based fuel? Why it matters to the atmosphere, and what you can do about it.

This activity allows students to examine the CO2 emissions from three fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) from several countries. Students learn to calculate CO2 emissions of various fossil fuels, look at the emissions per capita and per GDP, and discuss the impact on carbon emissions reduction for various scenarios....

This activity includes lecture slides, hands-on activities and a problem worksheet to look at how much energy we use for simple daily activities, such as taking a hot shower. What do potatoes and power plants have in common? How many times do you need to lift sacks of...

Students review a variety of images of the whole Earth in order to identify the major components of the Earth system at the global scale. The maps show solar energy, average temperature, cloud cover, precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation, and the images are of the Earth from space. As a class, they...

We have used the Stabilization Wedge Game (developed by the Carbon Mitigation Initiative at Princeton University) and adapted it for numerous groups. The world's carbon emissions keep increasing. This game takes the projected increase for the next...

Cranfield Field

The carbon sequestration site at Cranfield Field outside of Natchez, Mississippi is a centerpiece of STORE's Research and Technology Transfer Initiative. Highlights of field trips to Cranfield include a tour of Denbury Resources' gas-separation facility, venting of CO2 from a flow line at an injection well, viewing of core of the injection and confining zone intervals of the Tuscaloosa Formation, and viewing of monitoring instrumentation designed and operated with funding from the National Energy Technology Laboratory in collaboration with Sandia Technologies, LBNL, ORNL, USGS and LLNL.
